Horrible to watch on the tv!!

Why does it have to take 5 whole minutes for the page to load for any show on my tv? Works perfectly on my computer and phone, but not the tv. And the tv will load Netflix and other sites perfectly fine as well. Y’all need to fix this
As well as when I search top gear, why does it show “extra gear” and “top gear best hits” I wanna see what I typed in but no, it’s 6 channels away, which also takes a long time to load
And the continue watching section doesn’t update when I finish an episode so I have to re search “top gear” go all the way down to the actual show, go to the correct season, then finally, if it’ll even load, I’m watching the next episode

The interface needs to be fixed

I got the streaming subscription for the soul reason to watch topgear. There’s just one problem. The interface is awful ( im speaking for a console interface) typing is slow and sluggish, You can’t save shows only episodes. when going forward you can’t see what part of the film you are on you just have to guess. when you press back from the fast forward like when you accidentally press it, it sends you back to main menu, and then it does not save your spot in the episode so you have to fast forward. By far the worst interface, but the show selection is good and snappy start up time

Not a smooth experience

I recently subscribed to this service, and I’m not sure if it’s my TV (2017 Vizio E Series) or the app, but when casting a series, you have to go into the app and select the next episode, there’s no autoplay when casting. There’s also no way to re-sort the series, so, on Top Gear, for example, I wanted to watch from the beginning. Sometimes, though, the app reloads, and I have to re-do the search for Top Gear, and when I find it, I’m back to Season 26 and have to scroll all the way back to where I was.

Just needs work to be up there with honestly any other streaming service. 3 stars cause I got a good deal on the subscription. 🤷‍♂️

Love the programming but...

I live the programming here but the app leaves something to be desired. Often when I open the app it will start the last place I left off which is awesome except I can hear where I left off but still see the menu and not the program. The app often simply will not display where you left off. The favoriting system is difficult and often useless. The programming access keeps me coming back but these buggy issues are a bit annoying. I won’t leave over it but I would pay a bit more to see the app work better.

Needs improvement

This app is full of content I enjoy however the layout and other options are horrible. Adding shows you enjoy to the “my list” option is impossible. Why have a “my list” if you can’t use it? The presentation and overall navigation of the app also is horrible. I can’t just open the app and see shows I watch or continue to the next episode after I have exited the app. I constantly have to use the search option to find the show, then scroll to the season and episode I’m on to continue. It’s really ridiculous. And the app on my phone vs my fire stick tv is completely different. Whoever they hired to design and manage the app should be fired. It is not user friendly at all.

Best thing on the internet

I’m not tech savvy or internet/tv watching guy . Im more of a if it has an engine I’m interested kind of guy .. I’m mechanically minded . I have Never been into car shows in the past ,with most having Big dollar builds way to outrageous for me to relate ..” Motor trend has opened my mind” !!! “ Roadkill , hot rod garage ,junk yard gold” I can go on and on about the amount of shows/ content I love on here ... I like the new alerts to see what’s new . The price is great and the reliability of the website is impressive . I have nothing bad to say about motor trend .. thanks a loyal customer .

Redemption

Update: decided to cancel my Moto Trend app. They canceled/ended Throttle Out show. There’s not enough motorcycle content to keep me Interested.

I had an issue with billing a while back. They had updated there app and booted me off with no clear way too sign back on. I was upset considering I paid for a year subscription and this was barely 3 weeks into it. However, when I contacted them they were really nice and even called me truly wanting to resolve the issue which they did. I was happy. The channel/app it’s self is great. Pretty easy to navigate, lots of moto content. Personal note, I wish the had more motorcycle stuff but Throttle Out is great. I’d love to see a type of sports center for all Motorsports and I think they could pull it off!

Good value

I love the live racing, hoping to see more series covered in the future. My only complaint is the actual video player. Could be a little smoother and more like the current norm (netflix, youtube). Other than than solid content and you will not run out of car shows.

Thank you for your kind review!

Better than watching Netflix

I absolutely love your streaming service app and watch it more than I do Netflix now! But for only one downside, I can’t download now to watch later, all the other streaming apps have it, please add this feature.
Thx,
